[00:00.00] 作曲 : Cooper, McFarland, Pleasant
[00:18.00]It's half past 8 and you're late for work
[00:20.16]Your stopped in gridlock and you're berserk
[00:22.65]Put in overtime 5 days a week
[00:24.81]Pullin' out your hair for stress relief
[00:26.85]But you gotta compete so you get no sleep,
[00:29.31]You want the good life but it don't come cheap
[00:31.56]Climbin to the top of the totem pole,
[00:33.63]You'll fall and break your neck man slow the flow
[00:35.79]Now I'm from southern California
[00:37.23]Home of the laid back
[00:38.31]We don't go lookin' for a needle in a haystack
[00:40.74]And I say that
[00:41.55]In a subdued mood
[00:42.60]Kick it on the beach, eat a little mexican food
[00:44.85]But you, I understand,
[00:46.29]What's the rush?
[00:47.07]All flushed
[00:47.85]Mad like you missed the bus
[00:49.56]Another one's comin' in about ten minutes
[00:51.69]Man you don't gotta push yourself to the limit
[00:53.88][Chorus]:
[00:54.09]Slow the flow, relax your mind
[00:58.56]Gain control, take your time
[01:02.94]Slow the flow, relax your mind,
[01:07.56]Gain control, take your time
[01:29.76]Forget about the weekdays,
[01:31.05]Ready for the weekend
[01:32.16]Bring your swimtrunks and jump into the deepend
[01:34.35]Stop
[01:34.74]For a minute or two
[01:35.70]And take a look at the view
[01:36.84]I guarantee you'll see something new
[01:38.46]We only have two seasons; summer and spring
[01:40.83]So rock your flip flops and your cutoff jeans
[01:43.08]If you live in Long Beach then you know that I mean
[01:45.57]California dreamin' where it's all routine
[01:47.64]A situation comes that so soon is past
[01:51.90]And you'll catch whiplash movin' so
[01:55.17]Quick fast
[01:56.82](fast, fast, fast)
[01:58.77]You're looking for satisfaction; mistaken again
[02:00.99]King solomons said it like chasin the wind,
[02:03.39]You need to slow down start takin' it in.
[02:05.37][Chorus]

作曲 : Cooper, McFarland, Pleasant
It's half past 8 and you're late for work
Your stopped in gridlock and you're berserk
Put in overtime 5 days a week
Pullin' out your hair for stress relief
But you gotta compete so you get no sleep,
You want the good life but it don't come cheap
Climbin to the top of the totem pole,
You'll fall and break your neck man slow the flow
Now I'm from southern California
Home of the laid back
We don't go lookin' for a needle in a haystack
And I say that
In a subdued mood
Kick it on the beach, eat a little mexican food
But you, I understand,
What's the rush?
All flushed
Mad like you missed the bus
Another one's comin' in about ten minutes
Man you don't gotta push yourself to the limit
:
Slow the flow, relax your mind
Gain control, take your time
Slow the flow, relax your mind,
Gain control, take your time
Forget about the weekdays,
Ready for the weekend
Bring your swimtrunks and jump into the deepend
Stop
For a minute or two
And take a look at the view
I guarantee you'll see something new
We only have two seasons; summer and spring
So rock your flip flops and your cutoff jeans
If you live in Long Beach then you know that I mean
California dreamin' where it's all routine
A situation comes that so soon is past
And you'll catch whiplash movin' so
Quick fast
(fast, fast, fast)
You're looking for satisfaction; mistaken again
King solomons said it like chasin the wind,
You need to slow down start takin' it in.
